As long as they don't speak over dysphoric people, who should always be prioritized for obvious reasons, I'm okay with it all.
Also, the majority of intersex people don't like being lumped in with trans folks. Just my experience. If I'm wrong please call me out on it.

Sometimes I have dysphoria, sometimes I don't. Sometimes it's intense, other times it's barely there, I'm not sure why, I will never be sure. The only thing I know for sure is that I'm not happy this way. Sometimes I have pretty bad dysphoria during night time, I wake up and think 'what the heck was that all about?' and then it starts again when I go about my daily stuff.
I'm being honest, I could just pretend I have dysphoria all the time, but I don't..... I don't think Cis women feel women all the time nor do Cis men feel 'men' all the time.... but there is some elitism among some transgender people and I don't really like that.
If I express any kind of doubt, I'm immediately dismissed,
I am not desperate to call myself 'trans' or be associated with trans people.
